Psal. 21. Domine, in virtute.
Ad Præstantem. Psalmus Davidis.
1
Lord, of thy strength with cheerfull voice,the King shall gladly tell;
And in thy saving health rejoyce,
with joy that shall excell.
2
The fulnesse of his hearts desire,to him thou hast suppli'd;
And what his lips could but require,
thy love hath not deni'd.
3
With blessings dost thou him prevent,thy goodnesse to unfold:
And to empale his head, hast sent
a Crowne of purest gold.
4
He ask't thee lifes, and thou didst giveabove, before his vow;
Beyond the length of daies, to live
for ever, didst allow.
5
In thy salvations sure supplygreat is his glorie growne:
High Honour, Soveraigne Majestie,
hast thou upon him throw'n.
6
Of blessings ever-flowing streames35
And with thy countenances beames
rejoyce his royall heart.
7
For to the Lord the King is nighest,by settled trust approv'd;
And through the mercie of the Highest,
he shall not be remov'd.
8
For all thy foes, soever where,thy hand shall search about;
And them that hate against thee beare,
thy right hand shall find out.
9
Make like a fierie oven their pow'r,what time thy face shall fume:
Them shall the Lord in wrath devoure,
the fire shall them consume.
10
The fruit of their untimely breed,from earth thou shalt destroy,
That with the sonnes of men, their seed
no memorie enjoy.
11
For mischiefe they against thee meant,with purpose to prevaile;
And evill was their slie intent,
but they shall not but faile.
12
For thou shalt set them as a Butt,and backe with shame them send;
And on thy string thine arrowes put,
against their faces bend.
13
Lord, in thy strength thy selfe up-raise,whose strength is all thine owne;
So shall our songs extoll thy praise,
and make thy power be knowne.
